Traditional culture media do not resemble the metabolic composition of human blood. The concentration of different metabolites in these media influences mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) function. This knowledge is essential for the interpretation of results obtained from cellular models used for the study of OXPHOS function.
Keywords: cell culture media; cell model; mitochondrial biogenesis; oxidative phosphorylation.
